Summary

Archer City High School is a small, rural public school in Archer City, TX, serving 206 students in grades 7-12 as part of the top-performing Archer City Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 95th percentile statewide. The school has achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate for the last four years and a 0% dropout rate for the last three, reflecting a highly effective environment for student retention and completion.

What truly sets Archer City High School apart from nearby schools is its exceptional performance with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 90th percentile for serving this group—far exceeding its overall 85th percentile rank. This is a stark contrast to Memorial High School, which ranks in the 39th percentile overall despite a similar free/reduced lunch rate. The school also boasts a superior student-to-teacher ratio of 8.4:1, much better than Memorial's 15.2:1 and Holliday High School's 10.9:1, allowing for more personalized attention. While Windthorst High School (11 miles away) ranks higher overall at the 93rd percentile, Archer City outperforms it in serving low-income students and has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio, demonstrating a strong equity-focused approach.

The school has shown dramatic improvement over recent years, rising from the 55th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 85th percentile for 2025-2026, with notable gains for special education students. However, there is a persistent gender achievement gap favoring male students (88th percentile vs. 79th percentile for females), and 8th Grade Social Studies remains a clear weakness, with a proficiency rate of 22.86% below the state average. With high per-student spending of $15,772, Archer City invests heavily in small class sizes and individualized support, creating a resilient institution that excels at providing a high-quality education for all its students.
